Gyeon is what I would recommend I've used a few but gyeon has lasted the best and is the easiest to apply.

any links?No no you need to fully prep the car. I citrus prewash, foam, wash, decontaminate, clay bar, then machine polish.

Then I use prep spray on the whole car, tape up all rubbers and plastics then apply ceramic. And allow to cure for 24hrs. Then apply the final coat and keep the car dry for 3 days.

It's not an afternoon job.

This was the most recent car I've done. It was more awkward being 2 tone matte to glosshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200620/50d148c3da35b31fcfd7179745c75eee.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200620/0aff953a2e95de6f5613d652e2e8f45c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200620/11cc55932cb229a4883f7e6697521478.jpg

Ceramic coating is all about the prep work. Take your time but you’ll need to decontaminate, clay and machine polish.

I’ve used Auto Finesse Caramics and so far like it but I’ve not had it applied to the car for a short period so can’t give you an indication of longevity.

This is the 208 I coated in August last year. Still beads like day one.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200621/db8d517e478e586cabf9d44001196c9c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200621/2de98eebed513dd94630280d0c02bce2.jpg
